From the quiet flow of the river, the sun rises above the ancient ghats of Varanasi, bathing the city in golden light. Taken from a handboat, this image captures the magical harmony of river, light, and life. Shot with Nikon Z50.

I am a Muslim but as a photographer I become the religion I shoot I began shooting Hindu feasts festivals part of my cultural identity inheritance at an early age in Mumbai .
But I seriously began documenting Hinduism as a message of Universal Peace since 2003 at Nasik Kumbh first Ramkundh on the banks of the Godavari later at Trimbakeshwar where I met my Naga Guru late Shri Vijay Giri Maharaj he had studied Islamic scriptures been close to Sufi thought and was a supreme tantric he took the avtar of a Goddess in his hometown Mangalore .
This side of his persona I never got to shoot .
Thanks to him I shot Mahakumbh Allahabad 2013 Nasik Kumbh 2015 his last Kumbh was Ujjain 2016 .
He gave me a sense of direction after he passed away in 2017 I shot the Ardh Kumbh with his Guru Bhai Jaidev Giri most of the Naga Sadhus in this fold call me Firoze Giri an honour and a privilege.
I surprised His Holiness Swami Avdesh Anandji he could not believe I was a Muslim I shot him at Allahabad Nasik Ujjain.
I did not attend the Haridwar Kumbh 2021 due to the pandemic and also I was financially wiped out no work much of my savings were used in my bypass surgery.
With me is Sonu Giri he became a Naga Sadhu at Khamakhya at a very young age .
I have been very close to the Juna Akhada of Khamakhya .

I lived with the Naga Sadhus along with my Naga Guru late Shri Vijay Giri Maharaj I broadened my vision to understand showcase Hinduism my cultural inheritance .
I was treated on par some called me Firoze Giri ..they respected the fact I was shooting their Faith not just as a Muslim photographer but as a person who shoots diverse religious thought of my mother country India.
My aim was Hindu Muslim amity bridging the gap between two communities ,,what I shot dressed in a Sadhu attire was the truth of Peace Hinduism Sanathan Dharam.
I have shot
Nasik Kumbh 2003 Ramkund Trimbakeshwar
Mahakumbh Allahabad 2013
Nasik Kumbh 2015
Ujjain Kumbh 2016
I shot Kamakhya Ambubachi Mela 2016 2017 2018
After the death of my Naga Guru I have an Aghori Guru .. Guru Manikandan from Trichy.
As after documenting the Naga Sadhus I want to document Aghoris in different parts of India I dont have sponsors or funds or resources for the same .
My latest 2018 Kamakhya trip it was BJP President Advocate Ashish Shelar sab who helped me he is my neighbor too.
Mrs Shatrughan Sinha all my trips she helped me the most and producer Mr Pehlaj Nihalani.
I shoot Sufism Hinduism Shiasm...Christianity at my local parish lever St Peters Church Bandra .
I am also documenting Occult Possession Exorcism and Hijra Tantrics of India,
I have friends who are agnostics atheists and Wiccan ..but they could not influence my mind or my soul that believes in the Supreme Being .. call him by any name ..He lives within His Oneness ...
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time

Triveni Giri is called Dada Guru he was the Guru of late Shri Vijay Giri Maharaj my Naga Guru who passed away in 2017.
Triveni Giri i is over 90 years old from Juna Akhara has his own Ashram at Santosh Nagar Goregaon Mumbai close to Film City .
Shanti Ashram is the name .
Triveni Giris teacher mentor was Satyapal Giri from Udaipur .
I met all three of them when I was shooting the Nasik Kumb
So for me Satyal Pal Giri was Par Dada Guru he too passed away ...
I was with them in Allahabad Mahakumbh 2013 than Nasik Kumbh again in 2015 and Ujjain Kumbh 2016.
I am the only Muslim in their group documenting Kumbh Melas since 2003 .
I was never targetted for my spirituality though a Muslim my Guru s disciples called me Firoze Giri..I wore saffron ate Satvik food and lived with them peacefully.
I have not met the Naga Sadhus here in Mumbai due to the pandemic and the earlier lockdowns .

Har Har Mahadev.
Lalbaugh Chya Raja ..2018
I have been shooting Lalbaugh Chya Raja for over 18 years,,
He calls me every year..
Photographer come to the Pandal
He gently whispers into my ears
My vision embedded into the third of Shiva
he holds dear I shoot his divine Mother
When Durga Puja draws near ..
Har Har Mahadev Ardh Kumbh Mela
Clarion call I hear
Jai Gurudev
Life is a long
Winding journey
From the cradle
Of the Womb
To the Sorrows
Of the Grave
Har Har Mahadev
Jai Ma AghoriKali
The Storm held in
The cup of a Wave
It is better to be your
Own master than
Someone else's slave
For the Nectar the Amrut of the Kumbh
The thirsty throat craves ..
Memories within
The poetry of his Soul
Man saves..
This world is not
For Cowards
Only for the Brave.
Om Namo Narayan
A hermit
A Sufi monk
Held captive.
In a Urban cave
Jai Jagganath
Jaidev..
Thanks to my teacher mentor Naga Guru I was lucky to shoot my cultural inheritance as a photographer and gained their trust thanks to my Guru who was well known in the Juna Akhara as a man of peace and the Naga Sadhu in the picture was my Gurus friend .
They all knew I was a Muslim but gave me immense respect and thus made i easy for me to shoot them.
I started shooting the Kumbh Mela and the first one of my life was Nasik Kumbh 2003
Ramkund Trimbakeshwar 2003 .
Than after 10 years gap my Naga Guru invited me to shoot Maha Kumbh Allahabad 2013 this was the greatest experience of my life as a photographer but sadly those days I did not know how to shoot videos .
After that I shot the Nasik Kumbh 2015 Trimbakeshwar and Ramkund I lived with the Naga Sadhus I have all this chronicled at my Flickr stream but restricted from public view because of frontal nudity.. the Naga Sadhus live naked as part of their culture and creed.
Than I shot the Ujjain Kumbh 2016 and this was the last Kumbh of my Naga Guru Shri Vijay Giri Maharaj he died last November 2017.
I am a photo journalist and I dont shoot t make money simply to showcase my country's diverse religiosity faith ..all part of incredible India ,, not the India that is found in garish hackneyed travel brochures.
I continued my Naga Sadhu Juna Akhara documentary shooting the Ambubachi Mela Kamakhya Assam 2016 till 2018.
It was at Kamakhya that I began documenting the Aghori Sadhus under my Aghori Guru Manikandan from Trichy .
Most of Naga Sadhu videos too I have kept private till You Tube moderators become mature and understand that Naga Sadhu nudity is not porn nor for titillation ..my videos are for awareness and education of my composite culture .
This year my new Naga Guru Ram Lakhan Puri Kotwal anointed me as Firoze Giri at Kamakhya Assam.
Om Namo Narayan..
Har Har Mahadev ,,
you need
more than
you camera
your vision
your camera
eye ..a moment
full of centuries
that refuses to die
a moment holding
your feet in the
waters of the ganges
confluence of 3 rivers
ganga yamuna saraswathi
as they meet ..you cry
brahma vishnu mahadev
bam bam bholenath
chants that wreak havoc
in the soul of the sky
a river that holds in its
open palms ,,, the spirit
of humanity ,,,on a high
you soar you fly...
har har mahadev
har har mahadev
har har mahadev
god replies ,,,
